you are right about mpc being dumb proof machine though but if you're pro musician you will need more than 100,000 notes and 96ppq
Correction, if your a REAL pro musician, you would have acoustic instruments or acoustically interfaced instruments. You would be Jerry Garcia or Stevie Wonder. You would be humping Steven Tylers daughter, Liv, for a record deal. Im just saying mpc's rock and they're easy to use. But get a 2500 
Im sorry concept, that was arse holish of me, youve been alot of help on this forum. And you make great music. Im just tired of reading forums dissing other users intellegence because of their preference. It gets kinda ridiculous seeing someone call someone else an idiot because he thinks the 1000 rocks nuts over a 60II,or someone making a rude comment about someone elses preference of a 4000 over a 5000 because the lack of autochop in the 4k. Its MPC-FORUMS.com, not MPC-different kinds to argue about and make snyde remarks to eachother in hopes of solving an insolvable equation of personal preferance.com. I see it all the time in the mpc comparison forum, and much props to the guys who say what im sayin, go out and TRY ONE! internet tells you a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo, blah blah, and so on. Who cares if it has 96ppq or 960? I mean i understand if thats what your lookin for, you'd need to know that. But until three weeks ago, I never heard PPQ before, and i was always familiar with bars and ticks, acoustic timing. I never know there was such thing as Quantize until a ear go. Mainly we just did beatboxing with guitars, and some keyboard, sliced and looped on audacity. Thats ghetto music. Our first recording setup was a WEBCAM and a 6 year old DELL we got from a yard sale for 50 bucks. I did my researchnternet about samplers, beat machines n ish. I copped a zoom streetbox, a yamaha djxII, and a roland boss dr 880 for a hundred bucks. These are all great pieces of machinery, but none as easy to use as the mpc 1k red and blue i had. I would link em all up and make some dope beats(in my opinion). I still only know about 1/4 of the features on the dr880, i figured how to sample on my djxII a week ago (16 seconds, thats all you get too, spanned over 6 pads.) And i finally figured out all the functions of my streetbox today. It has 48 ppq. BUT IT ROCKS!!!!lmao. im so pulling the sounds offa this thing and usin em on an mpc. But if i had tried an mpc before buyin all this ish, i wouldve baught one in heartbeat. Point is stop the hate, make dope rythms. peace, im out
